Over at Feature Film Auditions, they make further mention of a casting call for Zack Snyder's reboot of 'The Man of Steel', for principle actors, and soon for extras. The site also covertly lists The Devil Wears Prada actress Anne Hathaway as being "mentioned" for Clark Kent's main squeeze, Lois Lane.

This should come as no surprise being that Warner Bros. is also considering Hathaway for a female role in their final Batman chapter - The Dark Knight Rises.

And in September, actress Natalie Portman was said to be the studios' number one choice for the part of Lois Lane. And she's also on the list of contenders for a role in TDKR. With this, we can assume that all the actresses that were listed for TDKR, could also be considered for the The Man of Steel.

Anyhow, for those who don't know, Lois Lane is Superman's chief romantic interest and, in the current DC continuity, his wife. And like Superman's alter ego Clark Kent, she is a reporter for the Metropolis newspaper, 'The Daily Planet'.

From the listed contenders, Hathaway seems like the most amiable choice, but we have a long wait until the list narrows. So consider this another day, another contender for The Man of Steel, which is targeted for July shoot, soaring into theaters winter 2012.

Hathaway SUCKS! Please get somebody who doesn't have to apply ten pounds of make-up to look halfway decent to play Lois. Please! Also, somebody who can act would be nice. Anne Hathaway plays Anne Hathaway in everything she's in. Boring.

I believe she can do that part well... the Lois Lane character has evolved over the years and I think Anne Hathaway can do a mixture of old and new versions well. Lois Lane was the perennial plucky damsel in distress back in the day and sometime was portrayed (probably as much as an in-joke amongst older writers) as having the most Superman related rescues ever due to her getting into heaps of trouble and having only a flimsy amount of identity - sorta. It's only during the later years that the character has been "fleshed" out, so to speak, and given a more serious and intelligent mien.

She can do funny and serious when the role calls for it ....and no offense intended to the actress, but I'll take anything compared to what Kate Bosworth gave as a performance.

Teri Hatcher was probably the hottest and most downloaded Lois Lane we ever got.... Erica Durance comes in a close second.

Yeppers, like many others she wouldn't be my first choice, but I could definitely see her doing a fantastic job. I fully support her taking on the role, but only so long as they give the Superman/Clark role to someone who is near to her in age. Nothing is worse than when they cast the primary love interest and the primary protagonist like 20 years apart, that crap is just ridiculous

YES!!! There IS a god!!! She's definitely my first choice for a young Lois!!! My favorite Lois has always been Teri Hatcher and i know for a fact that Anne could pick up very nicely where Teri left off! Hell, just look at her performance in Devil Wears Prada :))
